  1. Was at the game. Rouse came out chunking it. Coach McDaniel made an adjustment late in the first and slowed them down after half he adjusted and completely shut them out. The man is a defensive guru. The show tonight was complete domination. Blair has become a freight train. He is big and has the same second gear as Trahan did. He is now running with a purpose. What a great compliment to Nguyen. Bailey hit all the throws he needed to when it was asked of him aside from one overthrow he threw dimes. The team is headed for a clash of good teams next week. PNG is really peaking at the right time. They are healthy and playing mistake free football.

    Honestly the biggest problem I see is the lack of size along the offensive and defensive line. The other things like technique and discipline can be corrected...we got pushed around bad the last 3 games of the year got to get those kids in the weight room this offseason

    My point is with some enthusiasm those big kids are walking the halls at Nederland r leaving for other schools. You have them you just have to get them on the field. Brandon Faircloth really reignited the winning tradition at PNG. One year we had the most wins across all sports in a single season in our history. Another year we had the most playoff wins across all sports in our history. That is because so many kiddos wanted to be a part of that winning tradition.. You never know your best o or d lineman maybe playing Tuba, or a powerlifter who has no interest in football because of the lack of success the last few seasons. What is going on at Nederland is very fixable and I know you will. I cant wait for it to happen. That goes for all SETX schools. I love it when our area is successful. Unlike certain people on here who hate other schools in our area for whatever hatred they have in their hearts. I will root for any SETX football team in the playoffs. Good luck to all SETX Reps get the win tonight.

    When Delbert Spell retired lot of the defense struggles appeared.
    David Crommett retired offense line struggles appeared.. 

    From Neumann era to now lots of coaches have retired or moved to upper positions within the district. 
    Pretty sad when a former varsity coach that no longer coaches saying a change is needed in the stands.. 

    I personally know a couple of coaches who were very successful under Nueman that are there. One in particular who is there and has been there his entire career. In the past I begged him to come to PNG but he refused. I know many local coaches that are not head coaches. Several from PNG, one at LCM, one at Vidor, one who used to coach at Orangefield. I also know a few HC's. One SC winner and a few others I talk to from time to time. My point is with a mixture of a new HC and a OC and DC you could fill out the rest of the staff with some who are good coaches and able to adapt. I am not calling for Monte to be let go. I do not live in Nederland and its not my right to make that call. However I am a big Nederland fan as my family and many friends and now their kiddos play there. Nederland is my second favorite team on SETX. When PNG plays out of town I go watch Nederland. PN-G hired a great young HC then a pair of great OC and DC. The rest is mostly the same coaches. The thing about the new PNG coaches is they all three played in SC games and won atleast one. They all coached on teams that made it to our won state. No game is to big for them because they lived it. This is something I learned after they arrived. The ability to make the kids believe that they can win each game. BUT only one game at a time. Can Nederland do this. YES THEY CAN. As someone posted above these kids play junior sports together. They play travelling sports together, Babe Ruth, travelling 7 on 7 together. Their is zero difference between the kids from the two schools. Mark my words, Nederland will be back. The problems for teams like the Indians and the Bulldogs is the building of new schools then making it a magnet schools and putting athletes from 12 different high schools into one school. This and the new so called transfer portal. The UIL needs to get a grip on this or we will turn into California and Florida were anything goes in high school football. I have a family member who lives in one of the schools who have won many SC's in the last say 5-10 years. I asked how a school like them kept it going. Her answer. We have 6 kids starting this year who just transferred in and were not on the team last year at all. Thats the real struggle for most single schools. We dont have transfers for the most part, we dont have 12 schools to pull all the best athletes from. They will put the top players in one school. The next best in another school and the third group in a third school. Then the other schools in the district are just the cellar dwellers of the district. Then the three better schools sweep the district of course because all the best players are in one place. The Dallas schools figured this out and thats how you end up with 15 D 1 players on a single team. PNG and Nederland are lucky to have a single player who is D1 much less power 5. The Indians have 3 D1 players on our team this year and 2 power 5 players. This maybe the most ever on a single team. Whatever happens in Nederland I wish you the very best. Whether its with Monte or someone else. Good luck Dogs. Id love to see Nederland, Dayton, WOS all back were they belong winning games. It makes SETX better.

  5. We will be fine at Legacy. We sold it out for the Semi-final game and many Indian fans and other fans from the area sat on the LH side.  The lady working concessions told me it was the first time she had saw a side entirely sold out and that they were running out of certain items in the concessions. I am unaware if its true or not. I already have been told that some of my friend's from Nederland are coming and that quite a few will be there. Also a family I met after the Brenham game said to expect some Green and White amongst the Purple and White. So whomever makes it Ty we welcome your support. Come be part of our family if you desire. You will be welcomed with open arms. Also Ty to all the area folks who support us in the playoffs. We are blessed to have you.

    I like to use the old Mike Tyson quote in relation to these playoff games.  “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”.  We have this identity of “we’re gonna line up and pound on you for 4 quarters”.  From what I’ve seen out of teams in that area of the state, they don’t play that type of football.  

    I am still learning but thank you for sharing.
